SPECIFICATION .forming part of Letters Patent; No. 343,192, dated Jarre 8, 1886.

Application tiled January 22, 1886. Serial No. 189,433, (No model.)

.To all whom t may concern.-

Beit known that I, GEORGE HORA T10 PACK- WooD, a citizen ofthe United States, residing rat Tampa, county ot' Hillsborough, and State of Florida, have invented a, new and useful Improvement in a Combined Stop-Fail, Gommode,and Nursery-Chair, of which the follow ing is a specitcation. l

The objectof my invention is to combine in a simple and compact form a slop-pail, commode havingadou ble seat for the use ofadults and children, and a nursery-chair. I secure this object by constructing a pail provided with a commode seat and cover on its top, and having a portion of its upper front wall hinged or pivoted to the main body of said pail on a line with the top seat, an intermediate seat fitting in the pail horizontally on a line with the bottom edge of the movable or hinged portion of the front wall, so that when said part is thrown back it will allow the use of the intermediate seat for a nursery-chair or a childs commode, as will be hereinafter more specific ally shown andV described.

Figure l represents a perspective view of my improved pail. Fig. 2 represents a perspective view of the pail when converted into a nursery-chair or childs commode. Fig. 3 represents a vertical sectional view drawn on line a' x of Fig. I. Fig. 4 represents aportion ofthe handle or bail, showing the hinge-connection whereby the bail, when detached from one side of the pail, may be brought to the front when thev u-pper section of the pail is thrown back, as shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 5 represents a vertical sectional view of the spring attachment which holds the detachable end of the bail in position.

Like figures and letters indicate like parts.

A is the main body of the'pail or lower section.

B is the movable or top section.

6 6 are the hinges connecting the upper and lower sections.

O is the upper seat, and S the cover thereof.

D is the handle or bail, and 5 the hinge-connection which permits the bail,when detached from one side, to be carried to the front.

4 4 are the lugs to which the bail is attached.

3 is the spring which holds the bail in position at its detachable end.

loosely connected with the top. Vhere' rigidly attached, the seat should be formed in two sections, so as vto allow the front part to be thrown back when the pail is to be converted into a nursery-chair. Thelower seat is made removable,so as to be taken out when the upper seat is to be used, or when the pail is to l be emptied or cleansed.

\Vhen used as a childs chair, a pad or cover should be iitted over the hole in the lower seat.

By the use of rubber or other suitable packing on the line ofjunction between the upper and lower sections the full capacity ofthe pail may be made available. \Vithout this provision the water should be kept below the line of junction, so as to present possible leakage therefrom.

The mode of operating my device is as follows: When the pail is to be converted into a nursery-chair or childs commode, the springcatch 7 is released, the movable portion of the pail is thrown back, the detachable end of the bail is removed from the lug and `carried around to the front of the chair, and the device is ready for use, as shown in Fig. 2.

Vhat I claim as new and of my own invention is- 1. A pail having its upper front ends divided horizontally and vertically, so as to form a movable quarter-section, said section hinged to the main body of the pail so as to be opened and closed, as shown and described, in combination with commode-seat C, transversely divided so as to be folded when the quartersection is thrown back,and intermediate seat, E, whereby the pail may be used as a commode or converted into a nursery-chair or childs commode having a supporting-back, substantially as and for the purpose set forth. 2. In a combined slop-pail, commode, and nursery-chair, the combination, with the main IOU body A. of hinged section B, upper and lower upper and lower seats, C E, handle or bail D,

seats E, `bail D, provided with hinge 5,and y having hinge 5, and spring attachment 3, subspring attachment 3, substantially as set forth. stantially as set forth.

3. In a. combined slop-pail, commode, and GEO. HORATIO PACK\VOOD. 5 nurserychair, the combination, with the main p Witnesses: i

body A, of hinged upper seetion,B, provided E. J. RISSER, with hinges 6 6, spring-.catch 7, and flange 2, F. A. SALOMQNSON.
